Former Riverside Olympic tacticians Lynden Prince and Frank Compton have made the short journey across town to help United take the step up following an undefeated Northern Championship-winning season.

As Birch Avenue prepares to become the City's third statewide league venue, Coulson said the club's senior team could not be in better hands.

"Frank and Lynden are two great guys," he said.

"Their rapport with the players is fantastic and they are perfect for that role. They brought a lot of enthusiasm and are certainly focused on keeping the Northern Championship and Women's Super League teams as a squad, even junior girls who are on the verge of senior football.

"The club is very happy to have both these boys on board."

Coulson also felt the club has chosen a perfect time to make the step up with record numbers of junior and female participation and the possibility of the 2023 Women's World Cup on the horizon.

"It's just fantastic. There's a real buzz and enthusiasm at the club, probably not totally based around the Super League but certainly that has played a big part and been great for us.

"Female development is a big part of the club from juniors all the way through. Our junior club is huge and last year 20 per cent of those juniors were females and that's only growing this year. We're very proud of that.

"It's great for Launceston to have a presence in the state league and an opportunity for women who want to play at the highest level to do so without needing to travel.

"And the timing's great with - fingers crossed - Launceston being part of the 2023 Women's World Cup. It's just a great time to be part of women's football."

On the back of the largest junior participation numbers in Tasmania, Launceston United has increased both the size of its committee and its sponsorship income and broadened its reach across the largely-untapped North-East region.

"On Wednesday afternoons we train at Scottsdale hockey ground," Coulson said. "Dorset Council has been very supportive of that. There's an appetite out there and this means they don't need to travel into town to train each week but can still be part of our (junior) club at Churchill Park on Saturdays. If we get a follow-on from that into seniors, that would be great."

He said discussions with local politicians and Launceston Council were also progressing upgrades to Birch Avenue which has been flagged as a potential WWC2023 training venue.

"That could lead to more upgrades that the whole club can benefit from for years to come and become a real legacy."

Coulson, whose switch from junior to senior club president has freed up predecessor Tony Pearce to carry out his many other roles, said the club's male players, led by new senior coach and technical director Fernando Munoz, have also embraced the transition to statewide women's competition.
